Abstract: | The single‐crystal X‐ray structure analysis of hexakis(2,4,6‐triisopropylphenyl)cyclotristannoxane, cyclo‐[(2,4,6‐i‐Pr3‐C6H2)2SnO]3 ( 1 ), is reported and reveals this compound to contain an almost planar six‐membered ring. Redistribution reactions of 1 with cyclo‐(t‐Bu2SnO)3 and t‐Bu2SiCl2, respectively, failed and indicate an unusual kinetic inertness of the Sn–O bonds in 1 as compared to related molecular diorganotin oxides containing less bulkier substituents. The redistribution reaction of cyclo‐(t‐Bu2SnO)3 with cyclo‐(t‐Bu2SnS)2 leads to an equilibrium involving the trimeric diorganotin oxysulphides cyclo‐t‐Bu2Sn(OSnt‐Bu2)2S ( 2 a ) and cyclo‐t‐Bu2Sn(SSnt‐Bu2)2O ( 2 b ). |
